For sure I am confused, weather forecast is also another problem 😔 People tell me why they are not taking action to my posts, tell me if I am posting unwanted calls and you tell me what you want because I am sad 😢 #todayspoem #tomatoes #gardens #permaculture #naturephotography

For years I lived as if my life were made of clay or wood or even stone, and all I had to do—“all”— was mold or whittle or chisel to change its shape. As if my life were calling out from inside a larger hunk of raw material, of potential living. As if the shape existed, and my work was to reveal it. For years I lived like that. Imagine the absurdity of taking a chisel to water, or trying to sculpt it with your hands. This is what a life is: water. The work is letting it fill the spaces it runs to; letting it flow around or through the rest. Yes, it glistens as silver as a blade, and yes, it can drill through stone, but it’s soft to the touch. A life does what water does: It goes. ~~ 'For years I lived' by Maggie Smith from 'A Suite or a Suitcase' #VerseThursday #TodaysPoem #poetry @poetry@fedigroups.social

"We’ll dance down the aisle at the grocery store, Buy oysters and caviar, champagne and more, You’ll laugh and turn backflips, winning my heart; You’ll swing us around on the grocery cart." #TodaysPoem #poetry North by Northeast by Midge Goldberg from Snowman's Code (2016 University of Evansville Press) https://lettersfromahillfarm.blogspot.com/2019/01/todays-poem-by-midge-goldberg.html

What is a word? — Depends on who you ask. For instance, in the rigid Flemish taal, so many things that feel like words don’t pass, and my sprung language doesn’t work at al. My sentences are yet another place where stringent rule-embracers don’t agree: to me, an error shows the second face of grammar. The mistakes are what I mean. The thing I value most in any line— drawn, made, wrote, thought; in fantasy or fact— is flexibility: that, like a spine, the art supports the mind by which it’s maked. What use is language flattened, dried in books? Our language lives most when it is mistook. ~~ 'Sonnet for the Second-Language Speaker' by Éireann Lorsung from 'Pattern-book' #FridayPoem #TodaysPoem #poetry @poetry@fedigroups.social
